Has been great for us this last year but his actual impact on matches as in assists and goals is really not all that. Hope Gueye lives up to our hopes, if so he might turn out better! Delph has great energy but I'd prefer someone with more vision and shooting ability. Trying to think of this now as a positive, onwards and upwards!

I dont get it. He virtually gave us 8million and owes us nothing. He could have let his contract run down for 3 months but he was descent. Him and downing shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence

You're right he doesn't owe is anything but he should never have done the whole video and "villa is my club/want to stay here long term" speech if there was any chance he might be off at some point. Totally understand the reasons he's off but after that speech I really thought he was an exception to the norm of footballer and had a bit more to him. Money talks and most players now walk.

How long do we have persist with zog, should be Gill instead or Sinclair... Our best players so far given and Westwood

Burnley 1 up

Nice one Jack, take a bow

Personally could see Gill in in same team as Grealish, could try him in place of Zog

At last a bit of luck. Wasn't sure about the subs but credit to sherwood, based on first half we deserved it. UTV

His appoinent to me indicates our new ceo's lack of football understanding, which is a shame as Fox seems to know his stuff off the field wise. Can't see TS here for long and never thought he was right for job. Think he talks the talk but most of it is hot air, strikes me as very bitter about how things turned out at Tottenham, which is where he'd rather be. Resigned to relegation now, Lerner must take full responsibility for the downfall of this mighty club.

Fair play to Lambert for trying something new here, bringing in some good players, and not giving up. At the moment I honestly feel a little sorry for him, it's clear to everyone its just not going to work out but he must feel he has to stay committed to the end.

Nothing against him personally is what I'm trying to say. For the record I do think he needs to go now.

This

I've been a staunch lambert supporter, but tonight has me worried. Can't help but think its just not going to work out for the guy. As much as I so want it to.

Same. Times up if he can't turn this game around

Balotelli had scored every game against us, why not try to upset his apple cart a bit. Beyond that, Balotelli is a man who appears in a Puma advert standing over an injured player, getting a yellow card and then winks at the camera. If you're going to sell (or profit from) an image, don't be upset when that same style is used against you. Or, since Balotelli didn't seem that upset, maybe the media should take a page from his book and apply that philosophy.

Spot on

Notice the media making a big deal of senderous's trip but have far less interest in how in Chelsea's game before Diego Costa scored his first he could and maybe should have been sent off for striking a Swansea player in the face... So bored of the biased media love in with the sky teams.

Don't know if anyone else has posted already but the Sunday a People reckon Everton are close to signing Holtby on loan so maybe Cleverly is pretty much done and on his way to Villa

Can we stop panning his transfers a little bit?

Yes he's signed some duds but Benteke and Vlaar for 10m for me gives him a pass in that department.

Spot on. Hairy Hands said when he was posting last summer and in January 2013 I think that Lambert was having to go for his 4th or 5th transfer target options as he wasn't being given the funds to go for even his 2nd choice options, that's why we never got players like Cresswell and ended up with Bennett and Luna. I would really like to see what lambert could do properly backed.

Great player, have always thought he has been our most important player at villa. Can understand if he decides to leave if he gets a better offer but would be gutted, good player and captain. Hoped he would be here for years leading villa, thought he could become another centre back legend but reckon he'll be off. Crying shame how we have surrounded him and tekkers with substandard teammates. Just think what could have been if learner had have sanctioned some of lamberts first or second choice transfer targets the last two years rather than third, forth or fith options. Please stay Ron.

Like both home and away, not perfect but about as good as we could have hoped considering last years effort, well done macron... Looking at the official site the shirts with acorns on look so much better than the adult dafabet shirts, it's be good if they didn't hav the silly logo on and just the dafabet words, it would look a whole lot better.

Great player, if we can get a new owner in the team should be built around him Guzan, Delph and tekkers.

Yawn yawn yawn.... Same old arguments, different thread. Please someone post some transfer speculation, even some fake twitter stuff, its more interesting than all this you said this prove that bull.

If Hoolahan doesn't figure in Norwich team today then I reckon he might be the first one in.

Would like this to happen, sounds to good to be true though after all last jan hype over Kiyotake etc

Could be a worthwhile signing, always been impressed with him when he has played us, bit of experience and Lamber tshould know how to get the best out of him. Mixed feelings about the deal on norwich forum, Made me me laugh that some of them would consider a swap with Gabby.

Sorry not sure how to do links on mobile VT

Stream gone again. AVTV... "share every second live" yeh whatever Jack

The size of the score and time is realy anoying! Least its streaming again.

Great news, eff off Levy... He'll probably be gone next year but we all thought that anyway, at least lambo now can spend 12 months looking for his replacement and doesnt have to rush. Cant wait for the new season to start. He's been a bit of a nob what with the transfer request but if he sticks to what he has said today then fairs dues and i'll support him all season and if he goes next year then fair enough and thanks.

Fast becoming my favourite player alomg with Lowton
